[Intro – Whispered, with echo]
You tried to break me…
But I built my throne from the pieces.
⸻
[Verse 1]
I was mercy wrapped in chains,
A fragile crown in the pouring rain.
They kissed my fear, they called it grace,
Now I wear the dark on my face.
Every scar became my name,
Every wound a spark of flame.
They wanted silence — I became sound,
The fallen angel, glory-bound.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
I burned the bridges made of gold,
Learned to love what I can’t control.
You made a monster just to see,
What happens when she’s finally free.
⸻
[Chorus]
This is the rise of me —
The storm they feared I’d be.
I’m the echo, I’m the flame,
No more tears, no more shame.
I am the curse, I am the key,
Born from their hypocrisy.
They tried to end my tragedy…
But this is the rise — the rise of me.
⸻
[Verse 2]
Now I smile while kingdoms fall,
The quiet voice that conquers all.
I loved the world, it loved me not,
So I became what time forgot.
My hands are blood, my lips are sin,
A kiss that burns, a war within.
No turning back, no prayer to keep,
I’m what the saints dream in their sleep.
⸻
[Pre-Chorus]
They built their thrones on my despair,
I tore them down — I didn’t care.
I found my crown in agony,
And made it mine eternally.
⸻
[Chorus]
This is the rise of me —
The storm they feared I’d be.
I’m the echo, I’m the flame,
No more tears, no more shame.
I am the curse, I am the key,
Born from their hypocrisy.
They tried to end my tragedy…
But this is the rise — the rise of me.
⸻
[Bridge – slow, haunting build]
They’ll tell my story wrong someday,
Call me wicked, make me pay.
But I was mercy, I was kind…
Until they left me far behind.
Now I see through holy lies,
The devil wears a thin disguise.
So I’ll be what they couldn’t be —
The fire, the crown, the entropy.
⸻
[Final Chorus – Explosive, cinematic drop]
This is the rise of me —
My fate, my sin, my victory.
Let them tremble, let them see,
What their betrayal made of me.
I am the dark, I am the queen,
The space between what might have been.
No longer lost — I’ve been set free,
Bow down, my love…
to the rise of me.
